Japan's political suppression of Chongryon under fire
Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- An emergency meeting of officials of the Osaka prefectural headquarters of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) was held on December 1 to denounce the unreasonable political repression of Chongryon, according to the December 7 issue of Joson Sinbo published in Japan.
The meeting heard a report and speeches. Then followed an address by the chairman of the headquarters.
He said that no matter how desperately the Japanese reactionaries may work to destroy Chongryon the compatriots in Japan would surely emerge victorious in the struggle to defend it as long as they have leader Kim Jong Il and the powerful socialist homeland.
He called upon the officials and compatriots to single-heartedly unite and smash the anti-Chongryon moves of the Japanese authorities and thus firmly defend the organization and implement the decision of the 19th congress of Chongryon to the letter.
Implementation of north-south joint declaration called for
Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration published in Pyongyang last year is a milestone which most correctly indicates the principles, ways and immediate tasks for achieving national reunification in conformity with the nation's aspiration after reunification and the specific conditions of the country. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article, and goes on:
National independence is the main idea, spirit and core of the north-south declaration.
The independent reunification of the nation will certainly be achieved when all the compatriots pool efforts and wisdom in the struggle, while strongly rejecting foreign forces' interference into the issue of the national reunification from the Juche-oriented viewpoint and stand that they are responsible for their own destiny.
It is the way of peacefully reunifying the country in the interests of the north, the south and the whole nation under the actual conditions of Korea to work in the direction of achieving reunification by founding a unified federal state, keeping the ideologies and systems in the north and the south as they are.
The joint declaration indicates the way of solving the issue of the country's reunification most reasonably and fairly as it aims at achieving reunification by federal formula.
The declaration is one for the great unity of the nation and reunification that helps achieve the trust and harmony between the north and the south and national unity and reunification as soon as possible.
National reunification is certain to come when the whole nation continues to vigorously advance along the road indicated by the declaration, the article stresses.
International day of broadcasting for children marked
Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today devotes a signed article to the international day of broadcasting for children.
Children can grow up happily free from any worries only when their rights are guaranteed and their well-being is promoted, the article says, and goes on:
In many countries including capitalist countries children are denied their rights owing to the old international order.
All facts indicate that it is a very important issue to ensure the children's rights worldwide and the international community is required to exert concerted efforts for this.
Under the socialist system in the DPRK children are growing up most happily as the "king" of the country and they are bringing their talents into full bloom, free from worries about education and health care thanks to the best educational policy and public health system.
The DPRK government will in the future, too, make strenuous efforts for the rights and welfare of the children and strengthen cooperation with international organizations.
Japan warned not to act rashly
Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- The Japanese authorities should stop the fascist suppression of Chongryon (General Association of Korean Residents in Japan) at once, squarely seeing the revolutionary stamina of the army and people of the DPRK advancing under the great banner of the army-centred policy. And they should immediately apologize for the repressive actions and unconditionally set free all the arrested Korean residents, says Minju Joson today in a commentary.
The commentary further says:
The Japanese authorities are creating a terror-ridden anti-Chongryon atmosphere in Japan while ransacking Chongryon and walking away Koreans in Japan without legal ground. It is part of their intentional and premeditated campaign to undermine Chongryon.
After all, this search by the Japanese reactionaries is a grave anti-DPRK smear campaign intended to defame the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK.
The DPRK will never tolerate such frantic campaign. Its army and people hold dear the dignity and sovereignty of the country as their lives.
It is their fixed will and stamina to punish mercilessly and without fail anyone who encroaches upon the dignity and sovereignty of the DPRK.
U.S. imperialists warned not to act rashly
Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- The DPRK takes a serious note of very belligerent diatribes made by U.S. rulers and media when they designated the DPRK as the target of the second round of "anti-terror war" and underscored the need to give "priority to war" with the war in Afghanistan reaching the final stage.
Rodong Sinmun (organ of the Workers' Party of Korea) says this in a signed article today.
The news analyst says:
"Resumption of the DPRK-U.S. dialogue with no preconditions" on the lips of some forces of the U.S. was a peace hoax and the U.S. deployment of more task forces in South Korea on the plea of filling up "vacuum of combat power" was designed to conduct an operation in the wake of the war in Afghanistan.
The U.S. still describes the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism" for no reason in a bid to provoke a war on the Korean peninsula as they did in Afghanistan on the plea of combating "terrorism."
It fails to honor any obligation in the relations with the DPRK. It, far from being aware of its own responsibility for the indefinite delay of the construction of light water reactors quite contrary to the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework and accepting the just demand of the DPRK, brings pressure to bear upon the DPRK to accept inspection and cries out for a war.
Under the situation the negotiated settlement of the issue can no longer be expected.
There is a limit to the DPRK's patience. The U.S. designation of the DPRK as the target of the post Afghanistan war operation compels the Korean people to be in full combat preparedness to lay down their lives for the country. The DPRK is not Afghanistan. The DPRK is ready for defense and attack. The DPRK's striking power and the sphere of its strike do not know the limits. The U.S. survived the Persian Gulf War and the war in the Balkans and is carrying out the war in Afghanistan without difficulties, but things will be different in the case of the second Korean war.
If the U.S. imperialists opt for a war on the plea of "combating terrorism," all the means of defense and attack in the DPRK will mete out unimaginably telling blows to the aggressors and teach them what will be the end of the kingpin of terrorism.
